a tale of olde . . of love & magic

my allegorical illustration for my Mr O -click on image to view in detail * * *
with no notion
not the smallest inkling . . .
*
she wended her way into the birthday merriment
*
not knowing that quiet magic was in the evening air
that those fates had already woven their precious spells
*
It happened on this night of starry nights not so many years ago.
*
a magical fairytale of olde, full of unsought beginnings,
undreamed of happiness, a perfect moment of rightness.
*
just as the story says, it was love at first sight
so very unbidden, so very right
so she met her Sir Owen
her mighty oak
* * *
(to think i so very nearly stayed at home x )
